Linen making | Nelson, United Kingdom

Timeless luxury in traditional linens

Founded in 1861 by Peter Reed, this linen manufacturer began in Lancashire, the heart of Britain’s historic cotton industry. Known as Cottonopolis, the region produced two-thirds of the world’s cotton fabrics in the 19th century. By 1891, Peter Reed operated 748 shuttle looms at Springbank Mill, making it one of the largest weaving mills globally. In 1968, the company introduced the UK’s first automatic loom, which revolutionised textile production.
